nvrpaovnn WINDOW-sass.

The Schedulereferxed to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesarna Tolall whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, HARVEY L. MYERS,of Kingsfon, in the county of Ross and State of Ohio, have invented anew and improved Frame for Retaining 1Window-Glass in Sashes; and I dohereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, which will enable others skilled in the art tc make and use thesame, reference bein g had to the. accompany/ing drawing forming part ofthis specitication.

Figure 1 represents a face view of a window-sash containing my improvedfastening-frame.

Fignre2 is a detail horizontal section of the same. Similar letters ofreference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention-1s an improvement in metallic frames for holding panes ofglass in their sash, and they are so constructedthat the panes may beheld in place without the aid of putty or other similar material, and sothat the frames may bepapplied to the common sash.

The sash A is made in the usual manner, and divided, by mullions a orother division-bars, i-nto suitable lields or frames for the receptionof the windowglasses. l

Every bar of the sash is rabbeted on theouter side, as usual, for thereception of the panesH B.

i) C are sheet-metal plates, made as long, respectively, as the rabbetsof the sash, and mitered at the ends, to t'well together when putagainst the said rabbets.

Every plate O is bent longitudinally, to form three main sides, b, c,and d.

The side b tits against the outer face of the sash and raljbet, the sidec against the inner side of the same, and the side d is bent obliquelyinward from the outer edge oi' c, all as shown in g. 2.

The plates or grooved bars O ar'ethcn applied to the edge ofthe glassone after another, and,whe n `they are all properly placed, the glass isinserted intothe sash. 4

From eachplate O project inwardly lips e e, which are then tacked orotherwise fastened to the'sash from the inside. l

The parts d of the metal frames thus formedserve as weather-strips, andkeep the draught and moisture from entering the room.

Whenever a glass breaks, it is only necessary to remove the tacks,whereby the whole metallic frame becomes loose, and can be removed. Anew glass is then put into the grooved bars, and reinserted, asv
